Unsurpassed guidance through code changes for both diagnostic and interventional radiology
Are code unbundling and other recurring mistakes putting
your payments and compliance at risk?
For 2022 you’ll definitely want to hear Cathy Huyghe’s take
on the many significant changes coming to coding for both diagnostic and
interventional radiology. Your facility cannot afford to enter the new year
with outdated or incomplete information. The government does not give grace
periods when it comes to coding.
You will get in-depth guidance through all the changes: what
they are, the impact on your facility and how to apply them. Cathy will walk
you through strategies to prevent miscoding and noncompliant billing. In short,
do not miss this once-a-year opportunity to maximize your radiology reimbursements
and solidify your regulatory compliance!
